If you’ve ever felt like the reality coming out of your speakers doesn’t quite match the reality outside your window, Chip O’Gamma is here to tell you that’s a feature, not a bug. “Broadcast Delay” is the ultimate anthem for the censored age, delivered with the terrifyingly smooth confidence of a man who knows exactly where the “kill switch” is located.

The Seven-Second Filter

Chip isn’t just acknowledging censorship; he’s selling it as a luxury service. He frames the “seven seconds wide” gap not as a loss of truth, but as a “sweetening” of the static. In Chip’s world, the truth is just something that gets “caught behind the gate” for its own safety.

The most chilling aspect of this track is how it treats the listener’s own thoughts. When he says your words are “rerouted for revision,” he’s hinting that the broadcast isn’t just one-way. He’s the voice of an establishment that “rewinds the rage until it heals,” effectively gaslighting the entire wasteland into believing that what they saw “live” never actually happened.

“Gently Modified”

The spoken-word interlude—“Please enjoy this curated version of your regularly scheduled thought”—is peak O’gamma. It’s the verbal equivalent of a “Smile for the Scanner” poster. He’s taking the concept of free speech and putting it through a “brief pause” until it comes out sanitized, safe, and completely unrecognizable.

To Chip, the truth “stumbling in at eight oh five” (just after the news cycle ends) isn’t a failure of the system; it’s a victory of the script.

BROADCAST DELAY

by: Chip O’Gamma

You heard it wrong or heard it late
The truth got caught behind the gate
Static sweetens every phrase
Wrapped in loops and time delay haze

Broadcast delay seven seconds wide
Long enough for truth to hide
Echoes hum what they want you to say
Smile dear listener its just delay

The script was changed mid transmission
Your words rerouted for revision
By the time you speak your mind
The dial’s been turned the past redefined

Broadcast delay just a little glitch
Switch the facts flip the switch
They say it’s for safety to keep things clean
But silence edits what might’ve been seen

Due to unforeseen truths your signal has been gently modified
Please enjoy this curated version of your regularly scheduled thought

I saw it live but now it’s gone
The frame erased before the dawn
They clip the moment splice the reel
Rewind the rage until it heals

Broadcast delay hold that line
Your story fades just in time
The mic is hot but the scripts won’t jive
Truth stumbles in at eight oh five

We’ll return after this brief pause
